15) Then the question arose where the petitioner is to be accommodated. Our parole system and its framework do not provide specific provisions for persons who are homeless, guardian-less, or without family. Parole cannot be refused merely because the parolee has no permanent home, no one to care for him, no available guardian, or is indigent. If we examine the concept of parole in some developed countries, particularly in Canada, there are Community Correction Centers and Community Residential Facilities to accommodate parolees and individuals on statutory release who lack a residence or family support. Food and subsistence are provided through case management services, which assist parolees in accessing provincial welfare, community food programs, and other social support. Our parole system does not adequately consider the situations of individuals without a residence or a person who has no one to care for him. However, these shortcomings cannot serve as a valid ground to refuse the grant of parole.
